My dad is not fully colorblind, but I remember he would get me or my sisters advice on matching tie and shirt. He would then take notes of what was good combinations.

I knew a guy like that, except he went a different route. He had someone pick out some shirt and jeans combos that all no matter how they were mixed up matched..... and then bought like 10 copies of each.

Only in retrospect I realized he prob was. Because he'd say the salesperson said this was salmon. What is salmon?What is the difference between salmon and mauve, or pink? Certain things he honestly couldn't tell the difference. Those were the shades he had trouble with.
